(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no prepayment of Loans shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) , if such prepayment is prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)      Mandatory .

(i)      Subject to Subsection 2.05(b)(vi) , in the event, and on each occasion, that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Net Cash Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, on or before the next succeeding Business Day following the occurrence of such Prepayment Event), prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (such mandatory prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (ii) below); provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “ Prepayment Event ”, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and notice of the intent to utilize the reinvestment provisions of this proviso is provided to the Administrative Agent prior to the date such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made, if the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries invests (or commits to invest) the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant

-35-



to this paragraph in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event (or the applicable portion of such Net Cash Proceeds, if applicable, with any balance required to be utilized to prepay the Loans in accordance with this provision) except to the extent of any such Net Cash Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested) by the end of such 365-day period (or if committed to be so invested within such 365-day period, have not been so invested within 18 months after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so invested.

(ii)      Unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders (including pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) shall be applied ratably (1) first to the outstanding principal amount of the Initial B Loans as of such date, (2) second, pro rata to the outstanding principal of the Initial A Loans and the Delayed Draw Loan (if any), as of such date and payment shall be made to the appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share as of such date, and (3) thereafter the amount, if any, remaining after the repayment in full of the Loans may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business.

Except as provided in Section 2.17 , each mandatory prepayment of Loans shall be without premium or penalty. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “ Declined Proceeds ”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “ Rejection Notice ”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Loans.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event the limitations or restrictions described therein cease to apply to any prepayment (or portion thereof, or dividend or distribution to facilitate such prepayment) required under Section 2.05(b)(i) , the Borrower shall make such prepayment in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such prepayment previously required to have been made without having given effect to such limitations or restrictions and (y) the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents on hand at such time, in each case, less the amount by which the Net Cash Proceeds from the Prepayment Event were previously used for the permanent repayment of Indebtedness (including any reductions in commitments related thereto).

(vi)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no prepayment of Loans shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) , (x) if such prepayment is prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement or (y) prior to the “Discharge of First Priority Obligations” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) if such amounts are applied to prepay the “First Priority Obligations” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), as required by the First Lien Credit Agreement.

2.06      Termination or Reduction of Commitments .

(a)      The Initial Loan Commitment of each Lender on the Closing Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Initial Loans to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) .

Any partial termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments shall be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders with a Delayed Draw Commitment at such time.

(ii)      Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists (other than as set forth in clauses 2.08(b)(i) and (b)(ii) above), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.
